, THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Feb. 8 1 18'26, CT/IE REPRESENTATIVE.) We present our Readers to-day with a copy of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation, con cluded between Great Britain and France.— (See the Sun of Yesterday.)—lt is founded on the basis of reciprocity, and is strongly illustra tive of those liberal and enlightened principles, on which his Majesty's Ministers are so laudably anxious to establish the relations of commercial intercourse, with every civilized nation. These principles, notwithstanding the apparent back wardnessand hesitation of the Continental Powers to relinquish the long cherished prejudices of ob solete policy and opinions, are, as we have been confidently assured, making rapid progress on the public mind in every part of the Continent of Europe. Commercial Treaties, like other engage ments, are observed *with cordiality and good faith, only while their results are felt to be mu tually beneficial. Nor can it be hoped, that they should continue to be observed, beyond the period when the losing party shall feel itself pos sessed of sufficient strength, to throw oil the tram mels imposed by the diplomatic craft or acute. news of refined negotiation. To secure partial and temporary advantage, without regard to due reciprocity of benefits, were therefore as suredly the height of impolicy. On this ground, we cannot but congratulate country at large, on the liberality and wisdom, displayed by Ministers in the arrangement or a treaty, which promises to he of equal advantage to both France npd Great Beattie. [MORNING rosy.) The business in both Houses, lastuight, was unimportant. In the Lords nothing further took place respecting the intended measures to pre6 - vent the renewal of the late commercial difficul. ties. The only proceeding was the appointment, by ballot, of the Peers, who are to attend every morning throughout the Session, to hear and de cide on Appeal cases. The only motions were. made by the Earl of Liverpool. One, was for entering upon the Journals the sense which the House entertained of the valuable services of Mr. Cowper, the Assistant Clerk of Parliament, and the other for an Address to his lklajesty to make a suitable provision for that officer. In the Corn- mortrMr. Hume complained of the expenditure in- curred for the Maintenance of the Life G uards and Foot Guards, atitl'of its not being submitted to the same checks as that for the other regiments of the army. lie also moved for several Returns connected WWI the Object, to the production of iv filch Lord Palmerston made tio,opposition. The Noble Lord proved at the same time that the ac. counts althongh not furnished in the same form as those of other Regiments, Were examined with sufficient minatenessio prevent the possibility of any misapplication of the funds voted by Perlin. molt. lie also stated that. fiIIICV tBl4 all vacancies • had , been'supplicd from the Uttlf-Pay List, unless in the case of Officers retiring who were entitled to sell. [ll ENV 1' As every' think which serves to illustrate the practical effect of our Commercial Policy, beComes, at the present Morrietit, highly lute. resting, we feel it right to direct public attention to a question which hai arisen, .with reference to the trade between our Colonks and the United States. , An Act of the last Session (Sot. G. Geo. IV. c,114,) littituled es. Air Act to regulate 'the trade 'of the British possessions abroati''—throws open tier colonies to the trade of all our eountries ) and in their own' respective shipping, as.well as Britiib'vessels. It is a Complete ebaodonment of the : old Colonial System. It allows, with very few ,exceptions, all goods to be imported into the Colonies 'from any foreign country.— It ellowi the , productions of the Colonies, - without eny exception, to be exported to any part of the vvorld, not under British dominion, in arty „foreign. Shipping ; reserving nothing excin. sively to British 'shipping, except the carrying trade botween one part of the British dominions and ~another--a trade which every country is alhwed to keel', to itself without exciting the ieniousy of any other.: The duties ,imposed by this.Aet upon foreign goods are all moderate, barely protecting where British rivalry is con. telPpleted, and in no case prohibitory. The A c t estebliShes p wttrehousing system, like that exist• iog in this cetintry, so that the goods may, he, itepiirted lit transitn, without- payment- of Any duty. But this liberality to foreigners is clogg e d with one condition—reciprocity, as far as relates to the admission of foreign ships. The 4th sec. tiou excludes the ships of countries, which, hey. iug Colonies, • do not open, them in like manner to . ptiiihippina ; Or which, not having Colonies, do not place us upon the finding of the most fa. tlo,9retl. nation. The Tre a ty l a t e ly math; with natiCe is, fur purpose of . giving effect to the act between the two coentries and their Colonies. Botstrailge to say,. the United %mei Of Aare. meter, ',the .'itearptai oeighbours - of 'nor Co tonies, have en inhospitaide wards Ilritish shipping, which excledes the American ,ihip* from the benefits of the Art.

Wp. think it pretty clear, that after this Government haft adopted a general rule of toter course- between our Colonies and Foreign Countries, there is nothing in , the case we are speaking of, which should induce them ,to break that rule. If the pertinacity of the Ame ricans. sho ald facilitate the openining of a direct trade between our Sugar Colonies and the North of Europe:—countriei l the Wants and the produc tions of which befit them "so well for mutual commerce—it is probable that the trade may not very readily revert into its former channels. America has long treated our Sugar Colonies with great illiberality ; she has considered them at her mercy for their supplies, and has sought to have the whole benefit of the commerce, both as seller and buyer. The only benefit the Colonies used to have as sellers watt, in a market for their Itums, and this is destroyed by the high duties in America. NIIE TIMES.] he differences between the Governor of To bago, Sir F. P. Robinson; and the Legislature of that Island, have been before noticed ; but by later accounts it seems that they have been car ried ,to the length of an open rupture. On the 9.lst of October, in a Committee of the House o( Assembly, resolutions were passed, importing that the House bud lost all confidence in his Ex cellency's Government.; that thiy could not, consequently, take into consideration the im portant business before them ; and that a Select Committee of five Members . would he appointed to draw up a petition to his Majesty, praying for the removal of Sir F. P. Robinson from the Go vernment of the Island. Ctlties of these tesolu floats were conveyed to the Governor by a depu tation u 1 two Members. Onr city news gives us some account of a dispute between Ministers and the Bank.— We believe we have before mentioned that all rumours from the city, which it is nevertheles s our duty to report, mus t be received wit h caution.— Still less reliance, we fear, is to be placed upon any statement which should represent the Bank Directors as indicating a manly independence in their transactions with Government. Were a much more paltry set of Ministers than the present chosen—of whom- the worst that can be said is, that with two or three exceptions, they are dull, but honest, ---still , we suspect they would find but too ready a compli ance in the bureaux of . Threadneedle-street. flaying said this, hoWever, we must explain whet we mean. We'verily believe that the Bank, Di rectors will 'put forth *great pretensions. Like the little, shop-keeper of, the city, they will set a high value upon their 'articles at first, and appear most obstinate also in their endeavours to obtain it. But . then they had rather lower their price than lose their customer! This is a maxim of City prudence : and anothic is, that if they lose in this bargain, they may gain in the next. Go vervitnent, therefore, have nothing to do but per severe, anit . they will obtain their end ; which at last will be but a mere point of honour. The country will gain nothing , by the triumph.-- (IWO rTng PUBLIC LEDOLII.I Nothing further has transpired since our last, capable of adding to, or detracting from, that intensity of, interest ,which . the present aspect of things in Ituisia has every where excited.— The intelligence in, the German Papers, which reached us yesterdaY, is not so late by nine days as that in ottr last ; and it only tells us that the ac counts which are inierted in the St. Pctentburgh Journal are entitled to unreserved credit The Paris Papers of Sunday contain only comments upon the important news we published yesterday, or pretended amplifications, without throwing any new light, however, upon the subject. In the mean time, the occurrences that have just taken place in that Empire, are a just judgment of Heaven ,upon its Rulers, for the oppressive character of their domination at home, and for their unjust and:violent meddling abroad. ft may be said, without the slightest qualification; that that Power has been a curse to the rest of Europe for dearly a century ;. hut if it had corn emitted in this interval no other crime but that of partitioning Poland, and thus pre paring the way for most of the political en. ormities t h at. have since Intervened, its cha racter would deserve to be held in execration by every well.regulated mind. We would blush were we to apply any part of this censure to the Nation, which was 'only a passive instrument in the heeds of an ambitious and profligate Court ; and when we reflect upon the recent interference of that Court in the concerns of Spain, and upon the crowds of her best citizens, who have perish ed; in consequence, on the scaffold, or are now pining in almost hopeless captivity or exile—we must say that wo pot feel much disposed to qualify our animadversions. At the same attic, its vast military establishments left th e oth er E uro . pear Powers only the alternative of subjogatiod, 01. imitation; and hence those enormous standing armies, which are the greatest into° of our time. Hence, too, that intolerable load of taxation, which grinds the substance of the, people every where to powder ; whilst it may be said to coon ti,vact, the. effects of all the important discoveries that have been made in. this fertile age. LMORNINO H[;RALD.] At n time when much disgust has been excited by tln unseemly, broils which have taken place lir one of the City parishes, it is guile exhili rating to behold a Beene of an exactly contrary description going on in flilOther. We allude_t i o o ,c t i tre r conduct of the Bi s h op o f Ch ester, w h o is R of the extenqive parish of Bishopwte,in alleviating the distress of the Spitallields weavers, than which we have seldom witnessed any thing more hononiuble to theindividnal, more gratifying to humanity, or more calculated to aid the cause of , religion. His indefatigable zeal and earnest ness in this great ami laudable work of ch4rity, are not more praipewarthy and .Conspicuous than his prompt and wise resistance to the introduc tion of any a bhtrart points of dispute, at the meet ing held at the Mansion House upon the sub liect. Though we cannot expect to 'see the suffer ings of these poor people dissipated in a moment, we trust that the season of the year which is now opening upon us will bring, if we may use the expression, 44 healings on its wings," In the mean time, we trust that the same hands which can subscribe so liberally to missions and other foreign objects, will not be found backward in seconding the valuable labours we have alluded to,,by the timely surcour of a benevolence, which they' have the best earnest will be judiciously and justly applied, [MORNING CHRONICLE.] On the Stock Exchange yesterday there was nothing to relieve the general depression that prevails ; and, if any thing, prices were more unfavourable than on the preceding day. The state of commercial distress forms a leading to pic of conversation, and the ruinous effects of dishonoured bills are almost universally _felt. Among other rumours afloat during the day, it was said that an extensive mercantile house had received assitance from the, Bank of 'England to the .amount of 300,0001., and a malicious' state meta, .having reference to a second house of re mectability, led to a fall of 1 per Cent. in Co lombian Stock. There are not wanting those who evince a disposition to exaggerate the difficulties . which exists and which are sufficiently obvious ; but from the state of the public mind the appre... hensions which are entertained can scarcely be ' increased, and the only hope is, that the ex tent of the evils which are -. anticipated will, ere long, be.fully developed. The Private Bankers still coirtinue to limit their discounts, in most cases to one-fifth of their former accommodations, and this is attributed Oa to the want of money, but what is equally mischievous in its effects, to the want of confidence. It has been remarked by some of them that it is not easy, in such times, to say 'who is most 10 be trusted. The accounts received from the country continue : to give a me.. lancholy picture of the state of the Manufactur ing districts, and of the privations to . Olich, the unfortunate . mechtmics,,, are subjected from the, want of eMployment. [Minis!' A 498.1 Mr. Hume lasi night brought forward his mo. tioti respecting the Horse Guards. His prinCipal complaint was that the Guards are on n different footing from the regiments of the line, and that new officers have been appointed -instead of the vacancies being filled. up from the supernume. rary list. Lord Palmerston very satisfactorily otplained the circlimstances ,under which the appointments had taken place. : • The only instance in which a hew officer Alas been ap pointed in the Blues was that of the brother of the Major who was killed at ‘Vnterloo. The appointments in the Foot. Goards have consisted merely of Pages of Honour, who are entitled on retiring to n commission in the hotviehold troops. As to the difference between the c - Oostitution of the army generally and the guards, it .has always existed, and so long as the dititinc4jon continues, must Tomah). The Papers toovecttor by Mr. flume were ordered with the-full consent or the Secretary at War, who observed that he could with confidence " leave them to. speak_for them. selves."

LAMBETH-STREET. A MtstnErt OF THE CHURCH Arm Trim LAw.—Veste.r. :day the. Rev. Jalot Palmer, a clergyman of the Established (#hutch, at one tirue an attorney, and for whose apprehension rewards hare been offered within the last month, was brought 9p . before'the sitting Magistrates, Sir 1). WILI,IAus and M. W r" l ., f rom t h e watch-liouse of Mile.end, wh ere h e had been eonl i ned from an early h our on the preeeding night. , He was charged ivith having indelicately assaulted a Miss Hoggis, the daughter of 4 female of the same name, carrying on the straw-bonnct business' in Devonshire -street, Mile-end. Mrs. 'loggia stated, that about two o'clock on Friday last, the prisoner called at her residence in Devonshire.street, and informed her that ho had only just arrived from Hin c kl ey , in Leicestershire, where he had',vet) her distighter, a Mrs. Hinton,who requested nrpiii, as he was coming to tow) ) , to take an opportunity of callingon her, the witness, and inform her of her being in good health. She iinusediately invited him to walk in, anti after!siie had thiac so, asked him what refresh'. tent hie would r, take, to Which he replied that he would be quite satisfied W Writ glass; of ale. This-was at once procured for him, and while he-was drinking it, and in the course of conver sation, he told livr that be was a Protestant clergyman; that his name was P3l.mer, that he bad been. officiating at . Ilinchley, iindthat he was trr preach 'at 'lletlinal-greeir church on the en-. iluing , Sundity, where heinvittid, her to comp and hest I,s.ri lor , h e laul finished the ale, he said, tut she anpeared to he then a good deal engaged' in businels, he Would- for the pre. sent take his departure ; but would call ag a in i n a s h ort t i me t o s i te her. She, in reply, invitql him to repeat lilt call on the same evening, when she would be more at leisure, and that she-would have her brother and some other friends to meet him ; to this he consented, saying - that he would feel treat pleasure in joining in -a glass of grog with any of hex act/I:aim. ances. At the time appointed he arrived to a minute, but Though none of the persons expected to meet him, had armed, she invited him into the parlour, and asked him what he would have to drink. r. WYATT.—This appears, Madam, to he very unguarded conduct, to invite a perfect stranger into your house, and enter tain him in the manner you speak of. Mrs. Boggi s e xpl a i ne d i ts i mpru d ence b y say i ng t h at s h e was influenced th r o ug h out by goo d wishes towards gentlemen of the cleric a l p ro f ess i on , and that from his mentioning her daughter, she thought her confidence could not be Misplaced in him injharticular. Sir DANIEL WILLIAMS..—Did he obtain any property from you under these pretences ? Boggis—None whatever. Mrs. Boggle then proceeded to say, that 11) answer to her question of what he would wish to drink, the prisoner replied some brandy and water, which on being brought in he insisted on paying tbr, saying, that what ever liquors he might t a k e i n her house fte-would himself settle for; this, however, she objected to, but at length, from ,the peremptoriness of his manner, was obliged to yield. In the course of the evening he observed hits taking several indelicate liberties with her daughter. Mr. WYATT-- - What were those liberties ? Mrs. Boggis—He pinched her seVeral times in a very fend,. liar manner in the arm ; on perceiving which she said to him, " Let alone my dau g ht er ." _He then apolo g i se d, an d promised not to do so - again. This conduct excited her suspicions, either that he was not the person he represented himself, or that if he was, he must be that one for—whose apprehension a reward was offered; under this impression, and with the intention of having him taken into custody, she parted with him on friendly terms that night, expressing a wish that he would repeat his visit on the next day. In the 'mean time, she applied to Worship-street Office for advice and assistance, but was there referred to the parish-officers. She in consequence requested Christian, the constable, to be in readiness at her house, and take him into custody when he should arrive; but he also thinking that he would not be justified in doing so, declined. interfering, and recommended her wh en h e came, to lock him up; and that in the interim he would see what was the best to be done. The prisoner was, as usual, punctual to, his pro mise, and came at the time a pp o i nte d, when lie again insulted her daughter, both by pulling her on his knees, and making use' of very indelicate expressions towards her. Mr. WYATT—;.Did you hear those indelicate expressions? Mrs. Boggis—l did, Sir; I was at the bottom of the stairs. 51r. WYATT—Then, Madam, as a parent, you should at once have rushed up, and resented the insult. Throughout this business you appear to have acted with a great deal of ins. prudence. Miss Boggis, the subject of the complaint, a delicate-looking girl, apparently about eighte e n y ears o f age, corroborated her mother's statement, as far as regarded the arm-pinching, the knee-shill:lg, and indelicate expressions. • The prisoner, in his defence , said, that he c erta i n ly h i d called on Mrs. Boggis, but that lie did so in consequence of' the request of her daughter, whom he had known at Hinckley. With respect to his making use of any indelicate exprpsiont he declared the accusation to be false; and if their Worships. would allow him, he would question Miss Boggis on that head. The permission being granted, he then asked her to state what the precise language was which she -termed indelicate ? ' Miss lloggit replied, that he offered her 1001. to leave her mother, and lOU per annum in addition, if she would " live with him, and be his love," adding to this office that of house keeper. • 'the prisoner submitted, that even if he had made the propo sition, which he altogether denied, it couitinot be tortured into indelicacy of language; but he never had door so ; the fact of its not having been mentioned when he was taken to the watch house abundantly proved it: The Rev. Mr. MATTHIAS, the rector of Whitechapel, who happened to be on the bench, then took him to task, with a view of ascertaining if he was the person he represented himself, and from die answers to that gentleman'tf interrogatories it appears Oahe is now a clergyman of the established church, though - formeHy an attorney ) that he graduated at Sydney Colleges Cambridge, and the he had obtained orders from the Bishop of Winchester, on a. nomination within his diocese. Mr. Miller, the chief constable, here handed their Worships It bill offering a reward for the apprehension of the prisoner, whom it described as having fin-kited his bail. One of the city-officer, who was in attendance, then stated, that he was 'employed by the brother of the prisoner, who was that morning , gone into Leice s t er shi re , if poss ib le to take inns . Into custody, fo r t h at h e h ad been his security in some thouland* of onion' s , w i t h w hi ch, if he (the prisoner) was not on that day confined in the Fleet, he mu s t neteusarily be fixed. The Magistrates said, that with. that part of his .conduct they had nothing to do • that which came un d er t h eir cogni. zance was the assault, which even as a prifna facie case 'they - did not think sufficiently established. They would therefore discharge him, leaving'it open to Mr 4. Boggis to indict bins for the offence if she thought proper. The prisoner was then discharged, but just as he got outside the door of the lock-up room, a sheriff's officer was in waiting, who pounced upon Into like 'a hawk, and conveyed him forthwith to the Fleet prison ? where he now is. _ ----- • COUIirSE OF EXCHANGE, Feb. 7.
